The National Palace Museum will support outdoor wedding ceremonies twice a day on weekends and public holidays from October 2 to November 8. The Ginkgo Tree Rest Area will serve as the wedding venue, and the annex adorned with traditional dancheong patterns will be offered as the reception hall. A total of twenty-eight couples will be eligible, including multicultural families, international couples, military personnel, firefighters, police officers, young people, cultural heritage workers, and those in the arts sector.


On the first day, October 2 at 4 p.m., Mai from Estonia, the first non-Korean to be named Miss Chunhyang and a YouTuber promoting Korean culture, will hold her wedding. Tanel Sepp, the Estonian Ambassador to Korea, will attend and give a congratulatory speech.



Based on the success of this year's program, the museum plans to expand support next year to a total of 80 ceremonies across both the spring and autumn seasons.
